Revelstoke Ski Resort

Since its launch in December 2007, Canada’s most anticipated ski area, Revelstoke Mountain Resort has been riding a wave of industry hype as the new destination for big mountain skiers and snowboarders.
 


For years this mountain has been a haven solely for cat and heli skiing clientele. Now with 2 high speed quads and an 8 person gondola, the formidable terrain of Revelstoke has opened its gates to resort skiers. RMR is the only resort in the world that offers Lift, Cat and Heli ski services from one resort village base.

While not on the scale of acreage as Whistler Blackcomb, RMR now serves the longest lift-serviced vertical skiing in North America (1,713 meters/5,620feet). The terrain is known for its amazing fall line skiing, a mountain that needs minimal traversing. The 8 person Revelation Gondola whisks you up from the Village (still under development) to Mid Mountain elevation. From here you take a quick cat track to the Stoke chair which shuttles you straight in to the alpine terrain. The Ripper chair serves the entire North Bowl area.

The biggest attraction of Revelstoke is the terrain and the snowfall. Almost half of the acreage is designated as advanced/expert skiing, with very little room for the beginner or novice skier. The resort sits amid the picturesque Selkirk Mountains, which receive an average annual snowfall between 12 to 18 meters (40 to 60 feet). The snow in interior British Columbia is known for its low moisture content, much drier than that of the coastal mountains.

Located on the Trans-Canada Highway two hours from the airport in Kelowna, Revelstoke is the last township before crossing east into Rogers Pass. While the town of Revelstoke may be “removed but not remote”, the distance from a major international airport means international visitors must connect in either Vancouver or Calgary. RMR is approximately 10 minutes’ drive form the town of Revelstoke.

Ski Area

Revelstoke Mountain Resort prides itself on offering big mountain heli and cat skiing terrain with the convenience and price of a resort visit. With now the longest lift-serviced vertical skiing in North America, there are few places that can offer such amazing steep terrain acre for acre. And it’s growing.

Lift System

The newly built high-speed lift system at RMR aims to provide access to all of the terrain with minimal linking of lifts and minimal traversing. The comfortable 8 person Revelation Gondola provides access to Mid Mountain from the base stations and car parks both at the Village and Daylodge. Once at the top of the gondola, a short cat track takes you to the base of The Stoke chair.

Advanced Skiing

Intermediate Skiing

If you are unlucky enough to have recent snowfall on your visit to RMR or have exhausted yourself in the off-piste, the blue groomers are steep and smooth.

Beginner Skiing

The green runs at Revelstoke Mountain Resort (such as the long cat road Last Spike) are really only used for access between lifts. The Li’l Bit magic carpet is the area designated for children and learners.

Boarding & Freestyle

Snowboarders benefit just as much from the fall line terrain at RMR. While boot packing and traversing may be more arduous than of alpine or ski touring equipment, if you are staying within the boundaries there is no reason why a snowboard can’t access the same amazing lines.

Off Piste Skiing

Having started as a back country destination for cat and heli, the off-piste terrain of Mount Mackenzie is single biggest attraction for the thousands of hard core skiers and riders that have made the move to Revelstoke. This resort is the only village in the world that offers lift, cat and heli operations from the one resort base.

Mountain restaurants

There are three food outlets on the mountain. The biggest and most popular is the Daylodge, where a small kitchen is able to provide the typical North American ski cuisine of soups, sandwiches, sushi, burgers and pastas.
